Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito, no stranger to altercations, was involved in another notable one before training camp.

After a late night at a nightclub in the Fountainbleu hotel in Miami, Incognito punched and knocked out a hotel security guard, according to league sources.

One person who knows Incognito says the Dolphins guard was punched first.

There is videotape of the incident but the hotel is unwilling to turn it over and the NFL has not yet seen it -- and might not due to fact that it is the hotel's property and the Fountainbleu prefers that attention not be brought to the issue.

The Dolphins have been aware of the incident because, as one source said, "they've done everything to bury it."

The NFL declined comment. The league knows it cannot police all altercations involving NFL players, though this one happened in public, with witnesses. It still is premature, but Incognito's altercation could be a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. ...

Incognito is one of those guys you love on your team but hate on another team, kinda like Dennis Rodman.

Is that supposed to be a "perceived" funny?

News of the fight first broke on ESPN when the network, citing unnamed sources, reported Wednesday that Incognito punched and knocked out a security guard at the Fontainebleau late one night before training camp. At least one source in the story said Incognito did not throw the first punch.

But a copy of the Miami Beach police report offered more context. Early the morning of June 10, Incognito and a group of friends were at Club Liv when they got a little too close to the stage.

A security guard named Carlos Joseph told the group to get back, but, as Joseph told police later, they refused profanely. A fight then broke out between Joseph and Incognito, the club employee stated.

However, Incognito told police a much different story. Incognito told police he did not throw a single punch. He said he was trying to break up a fight between Joseph and a friend, and Joseph punched him in the face. Police later noticed scrapes and abrasions on Incognito’s face, although he declined medical attention. According to the police report, no visible injuries were recorded on Joseph. It was Incognito who called 911, not the nightclub. ...

Actually that is right on. We knew what we were getting with Incognito & that is a good thing. He brought a much needed attitude to this team. I am not sure what really happened in this incident & even if Incognito had every right to do what he did , his involvement should not come as a surprise. And that is not a bad thing either. I am not getting down on him but just like the Keller hit where if it happened to Gronk it might have had a thread on here of 5 posts ... if Incognito were on another team we would say he is just making his reputation valid and who needs those off the field distractions.

Re: Richie Incognito had another incident

Since you're such an angel, I'm assuming if a guy punches you in the face, you'll just walk away.

Man, someone that preaches facts and stats to most posters sure has a lot of opinions and assumptions lately. I'm no angel and I would prob. throw the first punch if I felt threatened. I also avoid situations where I might have to fight or break up a fight. I am also older and wiser than Richie too! lol

The dude has been in situations since college, it's just funny to me.

Last season, Smith found himself in a similar position with Incognito during the Texans' season opener. After the game, he complained about what he called dirty play from Incognito and said the Dolphins guard was trying to injure his ankle. The NFL disagreed, fining Smith $21,000 for kicking Incognito. The fine was reduced to $11,000 on appeal

On that play it looked to me as if Richie was trying to keep Smith on the ground to keep him from going after the ball carrier.

In a watershed sense, this was validation of Incognito’s turnaround: He walked away from something that, in the past, would have surely sucked him in. But has he truly changed? If so, how does Incognito explain a report last week citing anonymous sources that said he punched a bouncer at a South Florida nightclub in June?

“I don’t want to get into details,” Incognito said. “But I’ll set the record straight -- I didn’t punch anyone.”

Instead, three people who witnessed the encounter told NFL Media that Incognito was trying to defuse a situation at Liv nightclub after attending a Miami Heat playoff game; that he was actually the one who called 911 to report an assault; and that he absolutely did not hit anyone.

Here’s the thing about Incognito: He is not an angel, nor does he claim to be. Yet compared to where Incognito's wild life has taken him in the past, the current path is far less twisted than ever before.
